Due to the fact the investments are in a private companies, we are exempt from estimating the fair values on an interim basis. However, ARRIS is required to estimate the fair value if there has been an identifiable event or change in circumstance that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment. Each quarter, we evaluate our investments for any other-than-temporary impairment, by reviewing any capital transactions, the current revenues, bookings and long-term plan of the private company. During the evaluation performed as of December 31, 2011, ARRIS concluded that one of the private companies would be depleting cash balances in early 2012.

ARRIS concluded that the investees need to raise further capital was an indicator of impairment and therefore, performed steps to determine the fair value of its investment in the private company. ARRIS was unable to apply traditional valuation techniques as the required inputs to these techniques are unavailable. ARRIS determined that the best estimate of the fair value of its investment was to calculate it based upon the preliminary indication of value related to the new round of financing. As a result of these considerations, ARRIS recorded an other-than-temporary impairment on its investment of $3.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. During the second quarter of 2012, the same private company continued its efforts to raise capital, and as part of this process, a new valuation was performed. The results indicated a further reduction in the valuation of the private company. As a result, ARRIS concluded that its investment was further impaired and recorded an incremental other-than-temporary impairment of $0.5 million in the second quarter of 2012. As of September 30, 2012, the balance of this investment is $0.7 million, and the balance of the two new investments is their original cost of $3.0 million. See Note 4 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further disclosures related to the fair value of these investments.
